The genus Sybrida is closely allied to Paravetta, only 

 the hind margin of fore wings is more regularly rounded, 

 and the antennae of the male more broadly pectinated.

[As the female of this species is undescribed, I may 

 say that it is considerably larger than the male, and 

 much pinker in colour on both wings and both surfaces. 

 The antennae are very faintly serrate, as in Paravetta, 

 but the legs are similar to those of the male, and very 

 peculiar in their structure, as decribed by Walker, who 

 suggests the affinity to the Pyralidce. Butler says the 

 natural position of the genus can only be decided by 

 breeding. He also says that the inner line on the fore 

 wings was overlooked by Walker, but in his figure- he 

 makes this look both too distinct and too close to the 

 outer line, as five males in my collection all agree in 

 this point. The shape of the wings, as well as the 

 colour, in his plate is also incorrect. 



The species is not uncommon at low elevations in 

 Sikkim, but I have not taken it myself. — H. J. E.]

Toccolosida is a genus of Pyralidina allied to Paravetta, 

 not to the Crambidce or Phycididce ; the form of the 

 wings and the palpi are nearly the same as in Paravetta, 

 but the antennae are much longer, as long as two-thirds 

 of the costa of fore wings, pubescent in the male. 

 Neuration as in Paravetta. 



[The hind margin of the fore wings below is not 

 cinereous, as described by Walker, but vitreous greenish
